Nail salon defintions

Nail salons offer a variety of beauty choices for your hands and feet. Salons can offer a variety of services, from artificial nails and polishes to full spa service manicures and pedicures. Understanding the terminology nail salons use is important, especially when dealing with synthetic nails.

Acrylic nails – Process where artificial nail designs are added to the existing nail and then painted over with an acrylic mix. These take about 15-20 minutes to remove using chemicals like acetone.

Gel nails – Similar to acrylic, except that artificial nails are bonded to the natural nail by using ultraviolet light. Gel nails can be stronger and more flexible than acrylic, but these cannot be removed except by either filing them away or letting them grow out completely.

Silk wrap nails – Process where a piece of fiberglass or silk resin is cut to fit the nail and is sealed with glue. Popular with those who are allergic to the chemicals used in acrylic or gel nails.

Manicure – A deluxe beauty treatment where the hand is massaged and the fingernails shaped, polished and painted.

French Manicure – Similar to a manicure, only the base of the nail is painted a pale pink and the tips are painted white to exaggerate the nail's natural appearance.

Pedicure – Similar to the manicure, only done with the feet. Most nail salons offer a spa experience with pedicures by washing the feet in warm water.

Waxing – Some nail salons may offer this service, which removed unwanted hair by first applying warm wax to the skin, then a layer of cloth. The cloth is removed quickly from the skin, taking the wax and the hair with it. Depending on the amount of hair, this can be painful.
